Country Profiles

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/country_profiles/3524092.stm

I was surfing around the BBC website and came across this.. I really like how the BBC like the Economist has country profiles.. I think nothing helps a news reader more than understanding the history and political backgrounds of a country when reading about the news :)

I chose Kosovo to highlight on today because of its roller coaster of an existence.. I first heard or more like heard my parents talking about Kosovo when Clinton was president.. I did not really think anything of it until I became older and recognized what an ignored region of the world it was... Like Rwanda, Kosovo endured a type of "ethnic cleansing".. Genocide is something that any human should be upset about but in this country during that time it was not really at the forefront as it should have been..

What country did you look into? What do you think about the U.S.'s lack of involvement in Rwanda and Kosovo during the 1990s? Do you think we could have stopped it?

I believe we could have..
